Yats
Editor's Pick
Best of Indy

If there is one restaurant readers of NUVO prefer above all others in Indy, it’s gotta be Yats. No doubt that’s because the iconic Joe Vuskovich and his crew love equally and want to make sure everyone gets a chance to eat some of the best creole food anywhere outside of New Orleans. Each day brings a new set of six to ten menu items, including vegetarian options, according to mood and availability. Yats is good before the party, but it’s that much better the next day, when a gigantic plate of Chili Cheese Etouffee and buttered bread only sets you back $5, and has you up and moving again (following a brief nap, of course) in no time. Be aware that the College Avenue location only accepts cash, but they’ll give you an IOU if you need it. See all the locations in town on their website.
